Yes, please read the table. If that is too onerous, we can ask the MC (our 'boss' for the project) if the table can be treated as more an index or footnote.

I hope you will chose to read the table, using language which you think appropriate to introduce it. In a recent project I simply explained that the first number given was for 'whatever' and the second was for 'the other.' In this particular case, you would give the years involved.

So it would be, as an example, "Maryland; 34,000; 35,000" etc.

Clear as mud? Hahaha! (It's hard to discuss tables without actually having them in front of us.)

Any questions, please ask.

Thanks so much for recording this. It's important, I think, and relevant to today's events.
